Description
Summary:We study cut-and-join operators for spin Hurwitz partition functions. We provide explicit expressions for these operators in terms of derivatives in p-variables without straightforward matrix realization, which is yet to be found. With the help of these expressions spin cut-and-join operators can be calculated directly and algorithmically. The reason why it is possible is the connection between mentioned operators and specially chosen Casimir operators that are easy to compute. An essential part of the connection involves shifted Q-Schur functions.
